Jazz Drummer Q-Tip of the Week: SOLOING w/ Rudiments, Bop Language and Melody!

[@bogbrushify]

Well said! At the end of the day you have to use your technique to say something, to make music! I find it useful sometimes to play as if I’m a rapper. They use all sorts of rhythmic phrasing, but to say something! This also brings feeling and composing into your drumming, which is so much more rewarding than endless technical exercises. When you hear something you want to say, it pulls along your technique because it has a purpose. So important, and so well said. Thanks!

[@drumqtips]

I appreciate this very much Ashley! Thank you

[@bogbrushify]

@@Delsbo Yes, absolutely!

[@markielinhart]

As a beginner drummer I’m striving to be more organic and shake off the technical - it’s not that easy but your teaching goes a long way to sorting this. Thanks soo much Q…✌️🌻

[@themole2024]

thank you Quincy Davis. Your emphasis on getting the snare right is so spot on. I avoided it for a time, but now realize with your terrific tutorial, what needs to happen. folks this is a lesson to watch more than once.

[@drumqtips]

Glad it was helpful Fred!

[@gregc.4117]

As a kid, I used to LOVE when Lionel Hampton used to “sing” while he played.

[@drumqtips]

Awesome!

[@thibodaux3424]

Yet another great lesson Q! Not a lot of information out there on KZbin has this kind of detail. Thanks so much for your hard work.

[@drumqtips]

[@drumqtips]

Glad you think so David! Thanks for watching again:)

[@douglashalbert957]

Thank you for these! I love the examples and breaking it down into simple ideas to work from. Most teachers get way into jargon and technicality but your videos are fun and easy to follow.

A B.I.G. thanks for this class... Sometimes u forget the essentials

[@rbuono1]

Love this. I’ve spent allot of time in the NARD solos book but I always feel mechanical or contrived when trying to incorporate those techniques. You do it really well.

[@drumqtips]

Glad it helped!

[@harpo9279]

Back into drumming after 50 years! Bought an electric set (live in a townhome) started working on rudiments and found your channel. Wow! This is exactly what I needed. Really enjoying your videos. Thank you! You have a great delivery. What kind of sticks are those with a black tip and what size?

[@drumqtips]

Glad you enjoyed the lesson. I’m using my signature stick.

[@justbasti239]

Probably a god tier lesson, like always!

[@JulianFernandez]

[@tomelizalde7838]

I luv it when u sing dog !!

[@drumqtips]

Love singing!

[@idigbebop]

I like to use Max Roach “The Drum Also Waltz’s” from his Drums Unlimited album as a practice routine with variations. Could you possibly expand on this. It’s a nice intro to 3/4 world to comps and fills.

[@drumqtips]

That's a great idea! I'll see if I can explore that. Thanks for watching!

[@leonardocesari]

great thanks

[@drumqtips]

You are welcome!

[@harpapmac]

Very nice lesson I just would like you if you can to raise your voice volume a bit more cause when you speak I have to raise the voice and when you start to play I have to low the volume at my mobile.. I don't if anybody else got the same issue, anyway thanks for the lessons

[@drumqtips]

I think i figured it out in the following videos. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!

[@harpo9279]

Where can I get some of your signature sticks? I checked your website and they are not in stock. When do you think you will have them for sale?

[@drumqtips]

They will be in stock very soon. Keep checking my site!

[@aranash6967]

That was a song? That’s the noise I make when I realise I forgot to put soap in the machine.

[@drumqtips]

Ha! One man's song is another man's noise:)

[@earthorigins3357]

Great presentation of rudiments while soloing. One thing I should point out... The audio narrative portion of the video is very low and difficult to understand. Just saying...

[@drumqtips]

Yeah I screwed up the audio on this one. Thanks!

[@elithepitbulldog2209]

This sure beats football with fake cardboard cutout people in the stands. This inspired me to go practice

[@SaS-Music]

Those cardboard cutout people have feelings you know, but I agree with you!

[@drumqtips]

Ha! I appreciate that Eli!
